Add a new field, "prog_flags", and an initial flag value BPF_F_STRICT_ALIGNMENT. When set, the verifier will enforce strict pointer alignment regardless of the setting of CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS. The verifier, in this mode, will also use a fixed value of "2" in place of NET_IP_ALIGN. This facilitates test cases that will exercise and validate this part of the verifier even when run on architectures where alignment doesn't matter.
